Words of the Constant
Maybe in another timeline it grew to be a tree.
Trees are so painfully slow to grow.
What's the worst that could happen?
I-I can see now! The timelines are untangling before my eyes!
I wonder what else I could fashion with this.
I should have known it would happen like this again.
It's down... for the time being.
Oh botheration, not you...
There's something different about you.
He's waiting for it.
Just give me a moment to catch my breath...
I'm already at the dizzy age, all that spinning is just making it worse!
Nice try, but not even time can trap me!
Third time's a charm!
There isn't so much as a spark of possibility left in it.
The air around it is still crackling with potential.
I can't let myself fall asleep at a time like this!
I'll never get used to that!
I'll breathe easier knowing I have a backup plan.
I'm more suited to fine-tuning than heavy lifting.
I guess it might be useful... but I'd rather not to stay in one place for too long.
I'd rather not break my teeth on that, thank you.
Not exactly appetizing, but useful in the dark.
That's a bit better. I think.
It burns with an everlasting fire... how inspiring.
Ah. I suppose that fire wasn't so everlasting after all.
What a terribly off-putting tree.
Good riddance.
Only marginally more exciting than watching grass grow.
I suppose I'll just have to... ugh... wait.
Oh botheration, it doesn't seem to like this type of soil.
Now, if I could only remember what type of soil it likes...
Maybe I could skip ahead and take a peek at what it grows into...
It seems like they were a clever bunch. Just not clever enough.
Time has worn it away.
How awful.
What's left from a time long ago.
Something went that way... hopefully something tasty.
Yeesh. Can I toss it back?
Oh botheration, I hope I remembered to bring a gift.
There's no need to get yourself so worked up!
Oh now you're in a good mood?
Oh my, what a splendidly strange hat!
This might make a good gift for someone.
You mechanical menace!
Not one usable bit of clockwork to be found.
Well that's a setback.
This is why I hate cooking. Cooking takes forever!
It has to be almost done by now, right?
At long last, food!
